UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Sorry for the "Google Translate English". Im from Brazil, 19 years old, and have Keratoconus, i used some "standart" RGP lenses and have a Extreme Light Sensivity...

I tried the standart RGP lenses and trying now wirh the Rose K2 lenses but still have the problems, i have 100% vision with the lenses but a extreme light sensivity, headaches and dry eyes

I have the problems (light sensivity and headache) without the lenses, but with them is much worse, unbearable

I'm sad because I paid a lot in Rose K2 and spent money for nothing...

Hi,
Possibly you are not going to get on with rigid lenses. I could not bear rgps even though I got very good vision. Summer time and hayfever made it worse. Although I ended up with a graft in the left eye, I have been able to get good vision with Kerasoft lenses over the last 5 years in the right. This is now failing so I am going to try piggy backing. So there are lots of options. I think a Rose K still retains some rigidity, that could be the problem.
Also think about other possible causes, like allergies, poor environments (dust) or lack of sleep. Things which might make your eye irritable and also cleaning regimes.
Cheers
